Zumper data shows rent was down in March in several Central Texas cities, but not Austin. Meanwhile, Zillow data shows local home values rose just slightly.<\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 New numbers are offering a look at the current state of the local housing market.<\/p>\n

Rental search website Zumper released its Central Texas rent report for March<\/a>, looking at the median rent for one-bedroom apartments, condos and homes in the Austin area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zumper found that San Marcos saw the largest price drop year-over-year, down 12% in March at $1,100. Several other cities also saw drops from this time last year. The median price in Leander was down more than 11.5% to $1,200; Round Rock’s was down 7.5% to $1,240; and Georgetown’s was down 2.3% to $1,290.<\/p>\n

Even though Pflugerville’s rent was up 0.8% to $1,190, the city ranked as the second-least expensive.<\/p>\n

Zumper’s data showed Austin’s median rent stayed the same year-over-year, sitting at $1,460 a month for a one-bedroom rental.<\/p>\n

That’s the rental market, but how are things looking for local homebuyers right now?<\/p>\n

According to Zillow’s latest market report<\/a>, home values rose just 0.1% between February and March, and they’re down 5.9% from a year ago. Zillow lists the typical home value at around $422,000.<\/p>\n

More people are also putting their homes on the market than they were this time last year. Inventory is up 2.1%. New pending listings are also up 7.8% from March 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zumper data shows rent was down in March in several Central Texas cities, but not Austin.
